The proposed survey by the Depart- | ment of Justice to determine the num- | ber of citizens and officers killed in the enforcement of the prohibition law was to have been dropped. Efforts were initiated by the depart- ment to find out how many civilians had been killed by prohibition enforce- ment officers, State, Federal and mu- their lives in enforcing the law. Answers to the inquiry, the Attorney General said, showed that municipal and State officers had not kept a rec- ord of prohibition killings, and that any figures gathered would be entirely useless. For this reason the survey was given up. It had been planned to turn the re- sult of the survey over to the National | Law Enforcement Commission. = s Poland is planning to connect its lo- cal air Jines with international services. | SURVEY IS DROPPED | said today by Attorney General Mitchell | nicipal, and how many officers had lost | !
